.
I actually think people make too much of the buttfumble itself (though it of course was funny).The entire 2nd quarter of the buttfumble game is the greatest football-as-comedy event I've ever seen.
Some of the most bitter losses in team history came against the Jets, particularly seasons like '66, '79 and '08, all of which knocked us out of the playoffs.I actually think people make too much of the buttfumble itself (though it of course was funny).
The entire sequence is so much better. Idiot Bart Scott gets torched on the wheel route to Vereen for the TD. Then the Jets have a few plays culminating in the buttfumble. And then on the ensuing kickoff the returner fumbles the ball into the air and right into Edelman's hands who catches it in full stride and scores a TD.
I was in tears of literally uncontrollable laughter after the Edelman score.
So was the David Tyree catch. Pretty sure Giants’ fans rate that highAs fun as the Edelman catch was, it was only first down? So while Edelman's catch was certainly memorable, I think Hogan's third down conversion earlier in that drive was far more crucial (when the Pats were backed up against their own end zone).
Of course, if you are selling that Edelman's play was also spectacular because it broke up a 'would be interception' I guess I could buy into that too.

But beating them has provided some of the sweetest moments in our history, it never gets old, and hating them is just so much damn fun!
aaah, but now we are talking about games, not plays.
In that case, SQUISH THE FISH against a team that stopped our playoff runs more the 3 times
